Mrs. Baker's Class Newsletter-
September 8,2016
What is going on?
Writing: Students will learn to create a brainstorming list as the 1st step in the writing process. Then students will make a sketch plan to help them draft their story.
Reading: In Reader’s Workshop we will be focusing on main characters and setting. We will also be comparing and contrasting stories by the same author.
Math: We will continue the study of place value. Students will determine if a number is even or odd, compare numbers, and play corresponding math games. We will use number lines and open number lines to solve math problems including those with larger numbers.
Social Studies: We will wrap up the unit of historical figures and move into National Symbols. We will cover the Unites States flag, pledge, and anthem. Students will learn what the words actually mean and the history behind them.
Today in their planner, I am sending home three pages that have to do with starting Genius Hour- If you could please help your child fill it out and bring it back to school- This will help me guide them into their first project. I appreciate your help!
